Coordination at the trade boundary
Show where your work meets the next trade
On a hotel reception desk, an electrical rough-in can affect the millwork back panel and service access. Record the outlet location from a common reference, check the finished dimensions, and ask the GC to resolve conflicts before releasing the affected pieces.
The same approach applies to ducts near structural framing, railing anchors at slab edges and storefront openings beside finished walls. Each detail identifies the relevant reference and any condition that still needs confirmation.

Submittal workflow
From your scope to a tracked drawing issue
Define the trade package
Send the bid scope, current contract set and specification sections. Identify exclusions, priority areas and the first submittal date.
Resolve information gaps
Compare product data, field dimensions and adjacent trade details. Record missing or conflicting items by drawing reference and ask the project team for direction.
Detail and check
Prepare the agreed plans, elevations and sections. Cross-check mark references, dimensions and interfaces before issuing the drawing set for contractor review.
Track review and revisions
Record returned comments and update affected sheets and files. Identify the current revision and any items still on hold before the next handoff.
What belongs in the review handoff?
Agree on the sheet index, revision status, supporting references and open items. If your contract follows AIA A201, contractor review and coordination come before the package is forwarded for design review. Confirm the exact procedure for your project. AIA guidance on subcontractor submittals
FAQs
Questions from specialty trades
Scope, field verification, drawing standards and review responsibilities.
See our drawing processCan you detail only our subcontract scope?
Yes. Define your trade, areas of work and exclusions. We show adjacent trades where their information affects your scope and clarify who supplies missing details.
What files should we send for a quote?
Send the current contract drawings, trade specifications, addenda, scope and submittal deadline. Include approved product data, available field dimensions and any drawing or file format requirements.
Can you start before field dimensions are available?
We can review the scope and identify dimensions that need verification. Agree which details can proceed and which must stay on hold until the site measurements are confirmed.
Can you use our title block and GC naming convention?
Yes. Share your title block, sheet numbering, required issue labels and a sample accepted package when available. Confirm which native files or model formats the project requires.
Do these drawings replace contractor or design review?
The drawings support the project’s submittal and review process. Review responsibilities follow the contract. Design decisions and any required calculations or seals stay with the responsible qualified professional.
How do you handle a substitution or review comment?
Send the proposed change or reviewer markup and its approval status. We identify affected details and revise the agreed drawing scope after receiving direction. If the change affects scope or timing, we flag it before proceeding.
Have a trade package to detail?
Send the current plans, your trade scope and the first submittal date. We’ll review what drawings and files the package needs.
